Pros

Passionate coworkers who are mission-driven, nicer office space than most of the rest of the company.

Cons

Teams run like chickens with their heads cut off, and its not because there is so much work to do as they like to say, but really because there's no strategy in place. Absolutely NO planning whatsoever. Super negative energy, a lot of chaos, dysfunction, confusion, and frustration by employees. High turnover- all due to really toxic, fear-based environment. Everyone there seems to show excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to the owners, and if you dare question or disagree with anything they say, you're distrusted and alienated. This leads to a lot of group-think, yes-men mentality, a ton of wasted time and no ability to work smart, so much so it often feels like it takes an act of God to accomplish the smallest thing. Unless you love hamster wheels and verbally abuse, don't work there. It will suck your soul away.

You will work in a great environment where your co workers care about you and the work they are doing.

Upper management is very strict and they do not listen to what lower level employees have to say.

Pros

I work with a fantastic tight-knit team of developers and testers to produce and maintain an application we call the "Suite". It is used on production floors worldwide to manufacture and repair hearing instruments. Our application is there at every step, from the time an order arrives until it goes out the door. Order entry, design, branding, programming, testing, trouble-shooting ... everywhere. The Suite is the center of the process, tying together a variety of systems, consuming and relaying information to make the experience as seamless, painless and efficient as possible. Technologies used: C#, ServiceStack, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, SQLite, ADO.NET, LINQ, HTML, XML, XSD, JSON, Visual Studio, Microsoft Team Foundation Server I love my job.

Cons

The culture of the software development team is supported at multiple levels of management going right up to the top. They are as flexible with you and your personal life as you are with them. If you put in extra time, they will repay the favor and vice versa. I, honestly, have nothing to complain about as I have been treated very well.
